What you don’t see matters.

A finished surface only tells part of the story. Take a look at the details you’re trusting someone to get right.

01 / Deck

Start with what holds it all.

The deck is the surface every roof layer depends on. Its condition needs attention before new materials cover it up.

Ask before you commit

What did the inspection find beneath the shingles?

02 / Ice & water

Give the vulnerable areas extra attention.

A self-adhered membrane adds protection at vulnerable areas such as valleys and eaves. Its placement should be planned around the roof, then explained in the scope.

Ask before you commit

Which roof areas receive ice and water protection?

03 / Underlay

Protection beneath the shingles.

Underlayment adds a secondary moisture-shedding layer between the deck and the shingles. The parts you won’t see still belong in the scope.

Ask before you commit

Which underlayment is included in the proposal?

04 / Starter

The edge has to start right.

Starter strips sit beneath the first shingles along the roof edges. They help secure and seal those edges, where wind and water can find a way in.

Ask before you commit

What is included at the roof edges before the shingles begin?

05 / Shingles

The finish is part of a system.

Architectural shingles form the visible, weather-shedding surface. Their installation needs to work with the layers and details underneath.

Ask before you commit

Which architectural shingles and installation details are in writing?

06 / Exhaust

Air needs a way out.

High vents give warm, moist attic air a way out. Intake and exhaust need to work together; adding one without considering the other misses part of the system.

Ask before you commit

How is exhaust addressed at the top of this roof?

07 / Ridge caps

Finish the highest line with care.

Ridge caps finish the peak where roof planes meet. The top line deserves the same attention as every layer below it.

Ask before you commit

How will the ridge and its finishing details be handled?

08 / Finished roof

Review the completed work.

At completion, the visible roof surface, edges, valleys, and penetrations should be reviewed against the written scope before the job is signed off.

Ask before you commit

What will be reviewed with me when the roof is complete?

Before you start

A few useful answers.

Can I request more than one service?

Yes. Choose the main service in the estimate form and describe the other work in the notes. The written proposal should identify each scope and the order the work needs to happen.

Where does SCS work?

Start with the service-area directory for Greater New Orleans and Northshore planning guides. Share the property address so coverage and local requirements can be confirmed for the project.

What should I include in my estimate request?

Share the property address, the work you are considering and any problems you have noticed. Mention access limits, drainage concerns or an active leak so the project review can focus on what matters at your property.
